Nice!:) Keep us up to date on your progress. Now I will have to consider including these mods into my next phaser.
You have some pics of the camera case you are planning on using?
 
Hello again spacerone after you crazy glued the round styriene pieces together did you sand them flate on one side for gluing to the phaser ?

Hey Troydragons! After I shaped each of the three styrene rods and glued them all together I just left it the way it was and super glued it onto the p2 body.
 
It depends on the type of plastic. Clear styrene is more brittle than colored, but some other plastics are the same clear or not. I don't know what the DST phasers are made of, I assume ABS.

Well if it breaks when you drop it then we will know it's the brittle plastic. :lol
 
Got a little work done on the p1.:popcorn
Drilled out the old plastic emitter tube and test fitted the new one.

A little more drilling to test fit the new trigger.

Cut and filled in the small tab on the side of the p1.
Now it's time to remove those side rails.
Lets see what I have in my tool case that will accomplish that. :devil

More sanding done!
Added a piece of plastic to create the black and white phaser look.

Here's another question for you , Are you guys painting the p1 and p2 before the new metal parts are in ? or are you taping the metal parts you have glue in, panting then installing the other metal parts?
 
I really do like the fact that you are making the B/W phaser version. I had taken apart a complete red label AS phaser 1 & 2 to install some p2 electrics from a broken MR phaser, unfortunately had a RL issue and had to put it off, now its been 6 years, maybe time to get er done myself,,,, so many projects and no will to finish them :(
 
Awesome, Spacerone! I was so disappointed when I bought a "B&W" DST from eBay, only to discover it's the same toy, just with a white handle. But now I'm seriously psyched to convert it to a B&W hero with electronics, and maybe even a laser! Just gotta figure out where to put it in my pipeline... :)

Troydragons I glued in a piece of plastic but you can use other material as well if you like.
Bond it on and it will hold.:D
The spray paint colors I use are the Krylon fusion paints for plastic, gloss black and gloss white.
You can clear coat them later to change the shine if you want to.
I like it shiny and the clear coat helps to protect the paint.

The best thing to do is test fit all the parts before you paint and when every thing fits correctly
remove all the parts and then paint the shells without the parts on it.
Then after the paint dries enough test fit the parts again to make sure they fit correctly.
If they don't, just carefully remove a little paint in those areas with some sanding or an x-acto knife.:devil
Make sure to test fit the p1 into the p2.
You may need to sand down a little of the back area of the p1 and the p2 area where it touches to allow for the paint thickness.
